Cost of gas is beginning to hurt

It cost me more than $40 at Costco yesterday to fill my gas tank. I figure
it costs me at least $10 in gas every time I drive to the airport -- and I
have a hybrid car. I am beginning to wonder how long some of the younger
instructors can keep this up.


Just as the Evil Bush was dictating the cost of gas before the election, he
and Halliburton are jacking the price now that the election is over and
done. It's their retribution for losing the elections, you know.

Oooookayyyy. Didn't know the President (or Halliburton) was able to do
that. I thought Nancy Pelosi was running things now (she said so on
CNN, so it must be true). We have another gas tax hike coming in July
here in Washington, but that was decided by a Democratic controlled
legislation in Olympia.

Recall that prior to the last election, the Dem's were claiming that Bush
was manipulating the price of oil from the White House to better the R's
chances in the elections. Investors Business Daily had a cartoon about it
that was hilarious (Bush as "math challenged").

Actually...the autofuel tax increase in Washington that kicks in July 1
was passed by the Republican-controlled legislature in 2005.

Really? I was out of state in 2005, but I was under the impression that
Democrats have had a nearly 2/3 majority in both houses for several
years now. In fact, I recently got a call from a Republican fund-raiser
demonizing the Dems for the gas tax. If Republicans controlled the
legislature in 2005, how come Republican Mike Hewitt was the minority
leader?

Okay, doing some further checking, Democrats controlled both houses in
2005. The Dems had a 26-23 majority in the Senate and a 55-43 majority
in the House.

It certainly is when you consider that Al was saying that the
Republicans controlled both houses.

It was the Democrats who passed the gas tax increase that takes effect
on July 1 in Washington, not the Republicans.

Algore, Kerry and Hillary have all said (when addressing the appropriate
audiences) that we should be paying $5.00 a gallon and taxes should be
raised accordingly.

Wow! More money to **** away.

counted.
